Noteable "firsts" this week...

The final day of spring break--Sophie started crawling!! What was her motivation? The grass! We were hanging out on a blanket in the yard and she just decided she needed to experience more. So she took off...and hasn't looked back. Her favorite things now-- following Lucas around the house and finding the most minuscule pieces of dirt/leftovers/ect. on the carpet and attempting to eat them... I feel obligated to vacuum every single day but that's not realistic at all. (Picture below...typical scene these days...she leaves a trail whereever she goes!)
Also, Sophie had her first real solid food this week. Oh sweet sweet plain boring Cheerios. We haven't had those in the house since Lucas was her age. She had her first taste Tuesday and LOVED them. She's already graduated to feeding herself large handfuls of them!! And as you can probably assume, she's mastered that pincer grasp thing now, too. (PS-- Lucas LOVES feeding her the Cheerios...he was very proud of himself for helping out.)Avacados also came highly recommended by Aunt Amanda so we also tried those this week and again, she LOVED them.

Another first... Lucas and Sophie had their first bath together this week. Up until this point we had still been bathing her in her little infant tub on our counter, but the splashing was getting out of control. Plus, Lucas seemed really excited about the idea of them playing together in the tub. Sure enough... it was a success. And VERY cute to watch.
Another interesting first this week... Sophie falling asleep sitting UP in her crib!!! This picture doesn't quite capture the moment because my camera beeped before the picture was taken and she was startled awake. I feel so bad for her...she sits up in the crib and then can't lay herself back down!!! We're trying so hard to just let her figure it out on her own but it's so hard to watch her get frustrated and want so badly just to lay down and sleep!! (So we give in! Hey, she's teething... we figure she's going through enough with that...)

Last but not least...I suppose I should leave you with our oreo-lovin' boy.
